A true win–win–win: companies hire their best people, experts get paid, and candidates land dream jobs.
Working with the bestpeople team has been fantastic. They consistently delivered high-quality, AI-focused candidates. Every person put forward felt like a hidden gem, perfectly suited to our high velocity, high ownership culture. We were surprised they found so many great fits across roles from engineers to AEs so quickly, and we've already hired multiple spots with more in progress. We highly recommend bestpeople to any company looking for top tech talent, especially if you are in the AI race and need people ahead of the game.

BestPeople helped us uncover exceptional candidates already in our network that we didn’t know we had. It surfaced multiple top referrals — several are now in our interview process and we’ve already made great hires. BestPeople has completely changed how we find talent through internal referrals.

It was really simple. I recommended one of my ex-colleagues for a product role and he got the job. Looking forward to referring more people.

You contacted me with a specific opportunity that was genuinely a great fit. Often opportunities aren’t quite right, but this was spot-on. The process was probably the quickest and most refreshing I’ve experienced.

bestpeople enables me to earn a sizeable revenue on the side, referring people from my network to roles that they’re already proven they can do. It’s really a win-win proposition.

Referring someone through bestpeople couldn’t be easier. I simply connected a previous colleague to an opportunity, something I would have done anyway, and not only did it help them land a new role, I was also rewarded for it. It feels great to support someone’s career. bestpeople really makes referrals simple and worthwhile.
